The Big Splash Test

I tiptoed right up to the edge of the tiled pool deck, ready for the ultimate summer test! Gripping the curved stainless steel handrail of the pool ladder with both blue hands, I leaned out over the clear blue water. I carefully lowered one blue foot over the edge until my toes broke the surface. It rippled! Back home, water only exists as rock-hard ice, but this stuff stayed completely soft and swirled around my heel when I gave it a kick. A shower of shiny droplets splashed against the metal steps. Liquid swimming is officially underway!
